[ubuntu_studio] Problems with wireless internet and installing new driver Realtek RTL r8168 topic

Hi, I have a Lenovo z40 laptop and the wireless doesn't work at all with Ubuntu Studio 14.10. In reading mulitple forums, it seems that I need to download the driver for Realtek RTL r8168 and blacklist r8169. I have downloaded r8168 but run into error messages after trying to build the kernel:
